“(Commentary on the Magnificat, 1521; in Luther’s Works, Pelikan et al, vol. 21, 326)”
is not the Word of God.
To say Mary is the Mother of God would mean that she would pre-date God the Father. God the Father considers a person righteous because of their faith and trust in God, not their individual piety.

I know this has been said at least 10,000 times here over the past decade or so, but I'll say it again: Mary is not the mother of God the Father, yet she IS the mother of Jesus, Who is God the Son. He was incarnate in her womb by the Holy Spirit. She gave birth to the Divine Person, Jesus, true God and true man.
Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus is God, therefore she is the Mother of God.

How can Mary be the mother of her Creator?
